Why UKIP is still needed.

There is no doubt about it, Mrs May
calling an early General Election wrong footed us, but she also wrong
footed herself! Fortunately, UKIP had put candidates in place in case
an election was called and the Manifesto, completed in 2015, only
needed updating.

Obviously, many voters thought that
UKIP was no longer needed, but this is untrue on two counts.

Firstly, we need to ensure that the
Government does not renege on the referendum result and to negotiate
an agreement that is in our best interests.

Secondly, we have an excellent
Manifesto, full of good ideas and common sense. I watched the
presentation of the Manifesto on BBC Parliament and it lasted 45
minutes including a Question and Answer session, when journalists
could only ask stupid questions and generally be as offensive as
possible.

The media, particularly the BBC, then
proceeded to ignore it, scoffing and only reporting that we wished to
ban the burka on the grounds that wearing it could lead to vitamin D
deficiency. One sentence out of 63 pages!

If you have not read the Manifesto, it
is on the Website, UKIP.org, under “Learn about UKIP”.

The following are just some of the
contents of the Manifesto, which barely saw the light of day:

1) Restore our fishing industry by
repealing the 1964 London Convention on fishing. Further details can
be found on page 8 of the Manifesto.

3) Solve the housing crisis by building
modular homes, which can be built where unemployment is high and
transported to locations where they are needed. P16

4) UKIP would be able to provide more
money for the NHS by cutting the overseas aid budget. It would also
provide more places for trainees and bring back bursaries for nurses.
P18

5) UKIP would abolish comprehensive
schools and introduce a “horses for courses” approach. There
would be 4 types of school, grammar, technical, vocational and
specialist schools. The emphasis would be on learning the basics, such as times tables. P24

6) The amount committed to overseas aid would be reduced from 0.7% GNI to 0.2%. There would also be a dedicated hospital ship fully equipped and ready to go to any disaster in the world. p47Finally, HS2 would be scrapped and the money used for smaller projects round the network, benefiting everybody and not a few people travelling from London to Birmingham.UKIP is the only Party which could spend more on health, education and security by scrapping HS2, reducing our overseas aid and the money not being paid to the EU every year. What is there not to like?
